For me, I just try to make sure I eat enough and drink enough water and that's about it.

I think every band is a little cautious when the drummer starts to write tunes.

I always loose a little weight on the road, so I constantly have to be on top of my nutrition and hydration.

Little things can make such a big difference during recording.

My recording career has luckily run the gamut of recording environments.

I guess by taking lessons early on, and really trying to play all the rudimentary stuff, and try to have it sound as good as my teacher. It took a lot of practice, which I enjoyed, and still do.

Ben was more improvisational, and relied less on methodology, and basically is a guitarist who switched to bass, whereas Jeff has a more traditional approach to playing bass in a band, and has a great sense of what his band sounds like, and we lock up nicely.
